When I look at an email, I feel like pressing ctrl+p to get the print dialog
out, but the ctrl+p doesn't work. Guess the shortcut isn't implemented yet.

Using an accelerator is s a little more difficult when a conversation has more
than one message, as then Geary will either need to deduce which message to
print, ask the user, or assume Ctrl+P means print all messages in a
conversation.

The first and last are questionable and may not result in what the user
expects. I also don't know how we could efficiently ask the user to pick which
message(s) to print in a dialog box. These are the challenges of having a UI
where multiple documents may be presented in a single page.

Here's my suggestion for an initial stab at this:

  * Ctrl+P with one message present simply prints that message.
  * Ctrl+P with a multi-message conversation prompts the user with a dialog box: "Print %d messages?" (where %d is the number of messages in the conversation).

There's also the question of where this should exist as a menu item. I don't
believe this feature would be used often enough to warrant a toolbar button,
but I think it's worth exposing in the gear menu (Chrome does this as well).
So let's put it there.

The Gtk.Action should only be active if a conversation is selected.

I noticed you set the Assignee for this ticket to yourself. Do you plan on
working on this ticket?

Yes, I plan to work on this ticket. But the problem is that I have zero
programming experience. :-(

What do I have to do or know before I dive to writing the code? Currently, I'm
trying to crash course through C during the weekend.

Geary is entirely written in Vala, and you'll need to know it before
proceeding. Knowing C is certainly helpful. You can find a tutorial for
learning Vala at https://live.gnome.org/Vala/Tutorial

I'm going to remove you as an Assignee for now. We use that field for people
actively working on a ticket. If you pick up on Vala and fill like you're
ready to jump in, let us know and we'll assign this to you.
